The pre-release event of ‘Idhayam Murali’ turned out to be an unforgettable evening where filmmaker Atlee shared his thoughts about the film, its director Aakash Baskaran, and his film journey. The romantic entertainer, starring Atharvaa, is all set to hit the theaters on July 10 and has already created a buzz with its trailer. Wishing the entire team success, Atlee also reflected on the sadness that had plagued him since the release of “Raja Rani”, making his speech one of the highlights of the event.
Atlee shares her long-held grievance
During his speech, Atlee admitted that he always wanted to return to the romantic genre but never got the chance after his first film. “Wherever I go, people start talking about Raja Rani. Later, because of Thalapathy VijayI had the opportunity to make ‘Theri,’ ‘Mersal’ and ‘Bigil.’ I am grateful for this, but I have always had one regret: I could not make another love story, “he said. The director revealed that this feeling is one of the reasons why he wanted to support Idhayam Murali. “I also told Aakash that I want to make this film. That didn’t happen, but when I saw the finished film, I liked it,” he added.
Aakash and Atlee’s collaboration behind the film
Praising debutant director Aakash Baskaran, Atlee described him as a very warm person. “Aakash is like my brother. I can’t say no to him because he has helped me in many ways. He is young but reliable,” she said. Atlee went on to reveal that the film is based on Aakash’s life. “This is almost a biopic of Aakash. Anyone who knows him will understand that after watching the film. If you see the character of Fahadh Faasil, you will only think of him like me,” he said with a smile. His comments created great excitement among the audience and added to the excitement surrounding the film.
Atlee’s special praise for the cast and crew
Atlee also saved a special appreciation for young talent in ‘Idhayam Murali.’ Talking about actor Kayadu Lohar, he said, “Kayadu, you are on another level. I think you will be a National Crush soon.” He also said that he is a big fan of Parithabangal Sudhakar and added, “I am one of Sudhakar’s biggest fans.”With Atlee’s approval, good trailer response and expectations built around Aakash Baskaran, Idhayam Murali has become one of the most anticipated entertainers of the season. The film stars Atharvaa, Preity Mukundhan, Kayadu Lohar, Thaman S, Natty, Fahadh Faasil, and others. The film is now slated for a worldwide release on July 10.
